Being this close to my soulmate has destroyed me. The cool, calm demeanor I’m known for flew right out the fucking window the second Cora’s stunned eyes met mine. God, she is spectacular, even more beautiful than in my fantasies. She can’t be much taller than five feet, but she was blessed with abundant curves. My fingers itch to wrap around her rounded hips and hold tight while I pound into her from behind. Her dark sable hair is a little shorter than it was seven years ago, hanging to just below her shoulders, but the modern cut is perfect for her heart-shaped face. Fantasies of those pouty lips wrapped around my iron-hard cock fill my mind, sending all the blood in my body straight to my erection. This stunning woman has haunted my dreams for the last seven years. Fuck. I’m turning into a sappy-ass poet here.
My mind wakes the fuck up to the fact that three people are staring at me while I fucking daydream. Pulling my head out of my ass, I smile at my clients. “I wanted to let you know that the Harris County District Attorney has agreed to drop all charges against you ladies.”
“Really?” Cora jumps up, and my eyes automatically follow her curves as she hugs her partner-in-crime.
“Yes.” I smile at them. “As long as you promise to stay out of trouble in the future, he won’t pursue any charges.” I glance over at Finn. “He just wants the whole mess to quietly go away.”
“We can definitely do that.” Cora blows out her breath.
“Uh.” The older woman pulls back. “What about the library?” Determination enters her eyes, and I’m glad I anticipated the issues.
“I talked to a friend of mine at the preservation society. It seems they didn’t know about the plans to tear down the historical building. They are going to file an injunction to pause the project while they investigate.” I had a busy day today, but I needed to take this whole mess off my girl’s plate. “If it all checks out, they will designate it a protected building and halt the demolition.”
“What great news.” Ophelia turns to her nephew. “Thank you very much for finding this efficient young man.”
“I’ve gotten used to finding legal help for you,” he grumbles through his smile. “You keep us on our toes.”
“That’s what family is for,” she huffs.
My eyes roam over Cora’s stunning body hungrily while the three of them celebrate. Now that business is over, it’s time for pleasure. My curvy little baby doll has seven years of my misery to make up for. While they make plans to go to lunch, I decide it’s time to make my move.
“I need to speak with Cora, alone.” Finn frowns at me as I stand and walk to the door. “Please,” I add.
“Thanks for everything.” He takes the hint and leads Ophelia to the door. “We can go have lunch while Cora and Adam discuss their business.” Before the older woman has the chance to argue, he pulls her from the room.
After shutting the door behind them, I turn to my doll. “It’s time we get a few things straight.”
Her eyes widen as she sinks back down in her chair. “Am I in trouble?”
“You’re in a ton of trouble. I plan to spank your ass red for daring to run out on me.” I walk over and lean my hip against my wooden desk. “Do you have any idea what I went through when I walked out of the bathroom to find you fucking gone?”
“I’m so sorry.” Her dark eyes fill with tears while her bottom lip wobbles, causing my goddamn heart to melt. “I had to catch a plane, and I was embarrassed that you had to take care of me while I puked my guts up.” My beautiful baby doll rambles on, “But I regretted leaving without finding out how to get in touch with you the second I sat down on the plane.”
“I have all your information now,” I warn her. “You aren’t going to get away from me a second time.”
“Wait a minute.” Cora frowns. “Did you say you’re going to spank,” she points at her luscious chest, “me?”
“I did say that,” I confirm.
“Now, wait a minute.” My little spitfire wakes up. “When did I agree to let you spank my rear end?”
“When you ran out on me.” I pull Cora to her feet. “I will give you time to get to know me before we jump right into punishments.” Leaning forward, I cover her soft lips with mine. Within a few seconds, my blood heats to boiling point, and I pull back before I end up fucking Cora in my office while the entire law firm listens. “But just know it’s coming.”
Cora stares into my eyes for a few moments, and I begin to wonder if I’ve pushed her too hard, too fast. Relief cuts through me when a smile breaks out on her beautiful face. “I look forward to it.”
